To investigate ' periodontists' knowledge, perception , usage and concerns towards AI systems' applications in periodontology.

Materials and Methods This will be done by a self-administered, 33-item questionnaire . The questionnaire is divided into five sections.The first section, known as Part A, focus on five open-ended questions on sociodemographic characteristics, where participants enter their age, gender, academic affiliation. Part B consists of closed-ended questions, identifying the basic knowledge of the periodontists participating in AI using a Likert three-point scale (yes / no / maybe) . Part C consists of questions assessing the perception of periodontists towards the use of AI using a Likert three-point scale (yes / no / maybe). Part D consists of questions focusing on the usage of AI applications . part E consists of questions assessing concerns of AI applications in periodontology using a Likert three-point scale (yes / no / maybe) .

This study will be conducted in accordance with the code of ethics of the research ethics committee at the faculty of dentistry, at Ain Shams University. This survey aims to assess the knowledge, perception , usage and concerns of AI applications among periodontists.

The questionnaire will be distributed to periodontologists in the faculty of dentistry at Ain Shams University. Participants will be voluntary and anonymous. The questionnaire consists of five parts and the average time to complete the questionnaire is 10-12 min

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Assessment of knowledge about AI applications in periodontology

    Assessment of knowledge about AI applications in periodontology, Data obtained from the questionnaires will be entered into an Excel spreadsheet to serve as a database. The acquired data will be subjected to statistical analysis using the SPSS software version 23 (SPSS for Windows, Chicago, USA). The Shapiro-Wilk test will be used to assess the data.

    questionnaire comprised five sections with 33 questions. The knowledge-assessing questions known as the second section, consisted of six closed-ended questions, identifying the basic knowledge of the periodontists participating in AI using a Likert three-point scale (yes/no/maybe).

    Measured: 1 year
